I posted the chap stick/lipstick gift idea at the link above. I received mine in a birthday card.

Everyone I have given these to have loved them. I use theme fabric. My grandaughter loves it to hold her chargers and ear buds when traveling. Find a theme fabric for each friend and put in an item of that theme.

How old are your friends? I have reader glasses and enjoy having a slipcase for them in my purse--bright color and easier to find. Also I created a little pouch similar to the chapstick carrier in design but for carrying extra hearing aid batteries. When one goes bad, it's easy to tuck into the pouch than having it "somewhere".

I recently watched Jenny Doan make really cute zippered pouches on Youtube. Also, the one Onebyone suggested. Laura has some awesome tutorials. One Christmas I made the fabric boxes and they were easy and everyone loved them. I used Christmas fabrics but my sister uses hers all year!

We can all use these more and more with fewer and fewer bags being given out.
The fold away style is really good, as then one could keep it in their purse or even a pocket.
Always prepared!
BusyFingers ... By chance ... do you have the info re a pattern for these that you would share?
Or a link to one online?
Please? and Thanks!
